About Guardian Exteriors
Built by a Family Who Treats Every Roof Like Their Own
After years in the roofing industry, David Lee saw too many Indiana homeowners left stranded, contractors who cut corners, pushed unnecessary replacements, then vanished when problems surfaced. He knew New Palestine deserved better. So he and his wife Kelsey founded Guardian Exteriors on a single promise: protect every home like it’s our own.
Today, we are the roofing and siding contractor in New Palestine, IN that Hancock County families call first, not because we are the biggest, but because we answer the phone, show up on time, and stand behind every shingle. David leads every inspection personally. Kelsey, with deep insurance claims expertise, helps turn storm damage stress into approved coverage. Together, we deliver the honest, white glove service this community deserves.
“Roofing isn’t just about materials and labor. It’s about trust. When we work on your home, we treat it with the same care and respect as if it were our own.” – David Lee, Founder
